Stills from ‘ATAT - proposi-tion 1’, showing contrasts in space and a subtle relation to ‘the other’

06/11TtAaAaTt©

3.CONTENT

SELF/OTHERHALL33 focusses on the non-verbal, physical, visceral and psychologi-

in this particular space and how does that affect my perception of the other person? How does it feel to be in a tiny space in which I can hardly see the other or how does it feel to be in a huge space in which the other can clearly see me? These kind of interactions are shaped in the parallel

is on the visual relationships between the two participants and between the participants and the outside world.

Relation self/other: see-ing versus being seen.

07/11TtAaAaTt©

The dramaturgical structure of HALL33 is based on the 17 stages of the

book ‘The hero with a thousand faces’ Campbell describes the ‘mono-myth’ as a narrative blueprint that can be traced in any myth, story, or

-ema.

TIMELINETAAT devised a ‘timeline’ through which these 17 stages can be trans-
